  "summary": "According to the latest Inflation expectations survey by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), 77.2% of Nigerian households reported experiencing high inflation in September 2026, up from 67.2% in August. This indicates that inflation remained a significant concern among respondents, with expectations for a gradual easing of inflation over the next three and six months. The survey also highlighted that respondents identified energy, interest rates, exchange rates, and insecurity as major contributors to their perception of inflation. Despite the stronger perception of current inflation, respondents expressed more moderate expectations for the months ahead, with businesses showing stronger expectations of moderation over the longer period.",
